TUCSON, Ariz. — Two people suffering from heat stress had to be rescued via helicopter in a remote area of southern Arizona this week, officials said.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a press release Thursday that its Border Patrol Station in Tucson was contacted by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office on Monday afternoon for help responding to two U.S. citizens requesting immediate medical assistance near Montana Peak, which is nestled along Arizona's border with Mexico. One person was falling in and out of consciousness, while the other was suffering from extreme heat stress, according to CBP.
The agents used a small tarp to provide shade and poured cold water from their personal bottles onto the man and woman. A Border Patrol EMT then started intravenous therapy on the patients, while an immediate air evacuation was requested, according to CBP. CBP's Air and Marine Operations subsequently dispatched a crew aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk from its Tucson Air Branch on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The aircrew was able to find the agents and the two patients in a narrow cut below Montana Peak but was unable to land due to the terrain. So an EMT and a paramedic were lowered to the scene using the helicopter's hoist to assess the patients, CBP said.
